To avoid derailing this thread Six More Ark Royals.
WI When the RAF is founded in 1918 the Admiralty fights hard to keep the RNAS under its control. The sticking point would be the heavy bombers. Would these be transferred to the RAF or would the Admiralty keep these at least until the end of the war and then the bombers become part of the RAF? Ship board planes would be the obvious remit for the surviving RNAS and as @Astrodragon mentioned in the other thread possibly what would later become Coastal Command. Any other thoughts on the matter.
My sixpennorth is that there wouldn't actually be much difference until the 1930s and rearmament.
